Chapter 66: Ninety-Five Pioneers on
There are 48 hours left until the end of life.
Wang Hu sat in the driver's seat of the truck and quietly watched the rain fall on the window. There are no clouds and no wind in the left half of the sky, only raindrops falling from the gray sky, endlessly.
Telephone poles under the sky, dozens of parallel cables, lights that are not turned on, gray walls and pavement, everything looks old and dilapidated in the rain.
The truck was parked on a taupe ferry trailer, in the open air, with only half-man-high iron fences on either side.
In front of him was a Ford boxcar with a mess of red letters printed on the back door, all of which were swearing; It was followed by a gray Iveco, and when Wang Hu looked in the rearview mirror, he harvested a raised middle finger.
On a rainy day, the driver's mood is very irritable.
Wang Hu thought so, but he didn't know that after he retracted his gaze, the driver of the car behind lowered the brim of his hat to block his eyes, revealing a large piece of rotten flesh with a metallic luster that was covered on the back of his head.
The driver's eyes were pale and had no pupils, but he could lock on to a red Wang Hu from an infrared perspective like a beast across the carriage.
Hidden under the steering wheel, he holds a large gun with a strong sense of science fiction, with an appearance similar to an assault rifle, with a straight and thick barrel and a double-row battery pack inserted in the side.
Just reach a place where no one is looking, such as when the train first enters the tunnel, the moment when it turns from light to darkness.
With just one shot, the beam is enough to penetrate MAN's integrated carriage and shoot Wang Hu from behind! Then the infected soldier calmly fled.
It was an order from Malachite - just as Odin knew him well, he knew Odin well. What Odin could think of, he could also think of after grasping some clues about Odin's departure.
However, unlike Odin, as a strong party, he doesn't need to figure everything out, just stifling the possibilities.
*****
Years of peace had made his instincts fade, but Wang Hu still felt that something was wrong.
But at this moment, Wang Hu's brain suddenly dizzy, and in less than a tenth of a second, he woke up again. What does it feel like to be a return? Wang Hu remembered silently.
"You're back?"
[Hmm.] 】
So people responded.
There was a moment of embarrassment - just like the feeling of a husband who drifted out and lost contact, and his wife, who was tired of the plumber after the water pipe broke down more than a dozen times in a row, and unfortunately met at the dinner table again.
The pleasure of indulgence and the guilt of betrayal are mixed together.
[Haven't you started yet?] Well, I mean, here's ...... Where? 】
The system has nothing to say.
"The Anglo-French Undersea Tunnel, the truck ferry line, there are still two minutes to go."
[Well, that's good.] By the way, your little girlfriend, I have already helped you get her and her parents, and also helped her and Odin to mediate, you can rest assured. The recipe to curb genetic contamination is also in her hands, and as long as you can come back in three months, she should be able to take care of the rest. 】
The person paused here, and he didn't know whether to tell Wang Hu that Zhang Xue's IQ dropped to 5 as soon as he went home.
Think about it, forget it, based on the principle of not being able to monitor teammates, it is out of the circle to do this.
But people are still responsible for reminding them.
[She is a savior, if she succeeds, she will have the same status and reputation in the future, and she will definitely erect a statue into the museum. Why do you worry so much about a free lancer? It's almost gone, unless you want to soak her. 】
"Hmm." Wang Hu hummed softly, faintly uneasy made him not in the mood to speak, and the human system also fell silent.
After a while, the system said.
How are you doing? 】
"Not bad, what about you?"
[Not bad...... Maybe we should try this more in the future to give each other some space? 】
The human system tentatively makes suggestions. After a few days outside, one feels like he can't go back.
It was a little worried that Wang Hu would no longer allow it to break away - in the eyes of the human system, Wang Hu was a very boring wooden man who did not understand the joy of life. Whether he left or stayed, he would repeat the rigid life that would not change anything – and it had already tasted it, and it would be hard to give up.
However, in this matter, Wang Hu's authority is much higher than it.
Removing those implicit surveillance functions, the human system is just a synthesized auxiliary system, or the kind that is very unimportant, without the slightest card.
"Good...... The train departed. Wang Hu sat up straight, so he could only swallow back the question he was about to ask for the time being.
The truck shook slightly, then began to move slowly.
From inside the car, it looks like a guardrail is sliding forward with the car.
At first, the train was not fast, and the tracks were next to the lanes, and trucks with blue and white signs printed on them easily passed by. Trucks pull up the viaduct, while shuttle trains carry them headlong into the dark tunnels beside the viaduct.
The driver of the rear car raised his gun, and Wang Hu frowned.
At this time, at the moment of entering the tunnel - "Da~", the labor soil on the wrist suddenly pointed to the hour!
Time stood still at this moment, the rumbling roar of the train disappeared, Wang Hu's body froze down, and even the dust in the air stopped in a fixed place.
Then the watch, the 12V battery resting on the table, and the glass pyramid under the window all three glow in the dark.
Three milky white rays of light appear out of thin air, connecting the three to form a triangle that collapses.
An invisible wave extends in the center of the triangle towards the front and back of the tunnel.
Everything came alive again.
When the bright triangle disappeared, the watch, the battery and the pyramid disappeared with it, and at this moment Wang Hu was a little glad that he had bought a knockoff......
Who would have thought that something hundreds of euros would be sacrificed directly?
Even more surprising than Wang Hu was the infected soldier, who was also affected by the light from strong to weak (with infrared vision, the impact was greater than that of ordinary people). But he knew that the shuttle train was one-way, and the truck was parked on the trailer without any room to hide, and he could shoot at random in the 26 minutes he had to pass through the tunnel.
Today, Wang Hu will definitely die......
But after one light and one darkness, in his infrared vision, the empty rear compartment of the front car suddenly became a carload of pigs! What's even more excessive is that the figures in the cab position have changed from one to two, and they are still touching each other.
No...... Me, what about such a big goal?
*****
In the darkness, it was as if everything was changing, the seats were being raised and tightened, the steering wheel in the hands was deformed, and the distance between the front and rear was stretched...... Even the temperature was dropping, all of which made Wang Hu tense his body.
What's more, that sense of threat disappeared - it was precisely because of the disappearance that Wang Hu was convinced that it existed.
Then the sudden darkness, the long tunnel, and the monotonous sound of the train stretching time and space. It made Wang Hu think that when the battleship entered the curvature flight, the starry sky turned into a rain of light and moved away behind him, and there was a strong sense of loneliness at that moment.
When Wang Hu's eyes adjusted to the glimmer, he vaguely noticed that there was an extra figure in the passenger seat.
Holding the gun, turn sideways in the direction of the window.
"Death." Wang Hu said quietly in his heart.
The system jumps into the integrity scanner above and returns a moment later.
[There is a total of one squad of soldiers in the car, 11 people in the rear compartment, 1 co-pilot, machine gun X1, Apilas 112mm bazooka X2, spare ammunition X4, assault rifle X14, pistol X7, grenade X48, anti-infantry mine X6. 】
"Hmm." Wang Hu silently stared at the dark butt of the car in front of him, and waited for another thirty seconds.
However, without waiting for the host prompt, there was nothing.
The main engine, Tatein, seamlessly switches between him and the truck to the same location on another earth; Modify reality with boundless power; Finally, a squad of soldiers armed to the teeth was thrown at his car.
But without leaving a single hint, this is the treatment of mercenaries?
But when you think about it, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. If the host nagged every item to be filled in like the aunt of the neighborhood committee, it seems that there is a problem.
Wang Hu opened a thing called "Priority List" in his mind and began to execute it.
He starts by examining the most important mission statements:
1. Identify the source of the disaster in the target galaxy. (incomplete)
2. Obtain mature exoskeleton and battery technology. (incomplete)
3. Stop the ongoing human extinction process in the target galaxy. (incomplete)
There is no change, and items 1 and 3 are both generalized goals, which need to be judged after understanding a certain situation; Only the second item is more specific, and it is necessary to cut through it from the beginning, and Wang Hu has raised its priority to the highest.
Then there is the judgment environment.
The undersea tunnel from France to the United Kingdom has three routes, one for maintenance, one for passengers and one for freight.
Of these, only the maintenance corridor is open to traffic, and the other two are transported by train. The transportation environment of the passenger line is similar to that of high-speed rail, except that the carriage is carrying vehicles, and passengers can get off the train and walk around in the train;
Wang Hu followed the instructions of the indigo to go freight, the freight train only had flatbed trailers and no carriages, and there were only very few lights flashing by the side of the train throughout the tunnel.
Darkness brings invisible pressure.
Looking at the soldier's posture with a gun, Wang Hu knew that the danger level of the outside world was also skyrocketing.
Performing his third priority, he pulled out the Glock17 pistol from under the saddle, checked the magazine by touch, inserted the holster, and adjusted the position, the only weapon in his hand.
When checking the magazine, the passenger of the co-pilot, who was silent, turned his head to look at him.
After the weapon, there is a clear identity.
Wang Hu quickly and quietly searched through several storage containers, and finally pulled out a few paper documents from the small storage compartment on the left, which was exactly what he needed...... "identity" was close at hand, but it was dark in the tunnel.
Between "wait" and "immediately", Wang Hu chose the latter.
The sense of threat that had just appeared and disappeared seemed to activate Wang Hu's sense of smell as a warrior, and he could sense that danger was approaching in the darkness, so it had to be done as soon as possible.
Even if it's a little risk...... Wang Hu stretched out his hand and pressed the cab roof light.
The soldier in the co-pilot stretched out his hand to stop him, and the French pronunciation of "Don't turn on the lights, control the lights" was very strange.
"I see, thanks." Wang Hu could only put down his hand.
The cab fell silent again.
A few minutes later, the train passes through the first illuminated area of the tunnel. A row of small lights embedded in the wall flashed quickly, bringing a constant moment of light to the cab.
Wang Hu and the soldier in the co-pilot turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, which was a normal reaction. However, after seeing each other's appearances, they all showed surprised expressions - because both of them had Asian faces.
Taking the opportunity of staggering his gaze, Wang Hu quickly scanned a few documents that were turned out, and they were indeed not himself.
The next second, the lights were left behind, and the car was once again plunged into darkness.
However, at this moment, it seems that the previous barrier has been broken. "Chinese? Chinese? The soldier in the passenger seat spoke first, asking in French and Chinese.
"Chinese, Wang Hu. The king of princes and generals, the tiger of tigers. What about you? Wang Hu replied in Chinese, showing a positive side and also for more information.
He figured out why the other party spoke French so strangely. It should be authentic Chinese, and French is a foreign language.
"The country sent a military observer mission in Europe, and the first sergeant major was ...... Forget it, you can just call me Four-Seven. Qiu Qiqi stretched out his hand and shook him, and his attitude was a little more cordial. I haven't seen a yellow-skinned face for half a month, I didn't expect to meet a fellow here, you drive a truck here in Europe? ”
"No, I'm an engineer." Wang Hu said vaguely.
Fortunately, I just looked at my driver's license and knew it wasn't my car. It's not your own car but you sit in the driver's seat, it can only be a temporary substitute, and it seems that in the movie France has mostly fallen?
Wang Hu was about to ask a few more questions, when the small door behind him suddenly opened, and a black figure poked his head out of it, opening his mouth to reveal two rows of white teeth.
"Shut up, don't talk, keep your eyes on the window!" He whispered in French. "You too, be smart." The last sentence was addressed to Wang Hu.
Wang Hu hurriedly asked, "I only have a pistol, do you have any extra weapons......
"Shut up, your responsibility is to keep your hands on the steering wheel and be ready to drive at any time, the battle is not your business, we will protect you! Also, don't let me hear you say another word without my permission! ”
He turned and pressed the headset, "Damn, there's a non-combatant here." Slot machines, you come to the second row and stare to the left, by the way, protect the driver. ”
Rap is extremely fast.
After the commander left, a tall, heavily armed soldier threw in a large backpack first, and then reluctantly squeezed into the cab through the small door and sat in the back seat of Wang Hu.
The big man turned on the night vision goggles, and the muzzle of the gun came out of the window, pointing at the tunnel wall on the left.
"He's a 'slot machine', Caucasian." Qiu Qiqi said to Wang Hu.
"Four-seven, your friend?" The soldier, codenamed "Slot Machine", greeted him and also spoke French.
"Chinese, fellow." Qi Qiqi nodded and said.
Wang Hu pointed to his mouth, signaling that he couldn't speak, and the big man smiled. He patted the back of the driver's seat and whispered, "Look ahead, give me the back." ”
Qiu Qiqi took the opportunity to say to Wang Hu. "It's for your own good not to give you a gun, I'm afraid that you won't hit the enemy, but you will accidentally injure your teammates." Qiu Qiqi said so, but his actions were the opposite. He took advantage of the darkness to carry his backpack and put it on the storage box between him and Wang Hu.
As the train passed through the second illuminated area, Qiu Qiqi quietly pointed to the spare rifle strapped to the back of the backpack, and then to Wang Hu.
The meaning is self-evident, when you encounter danger, you still have to protect yourself...... Foreigners may not be reliable.
Wang Hu nodded, glancing sideways.
Okay, a ninety-five, three magazines.
